12M12M Run Update: 6 weeks to London!

We’re in the ‘counting down to launch’ phase of the 12 Marathons in 12 Months project here at the SweetTree Farming For All HQ – not to be confused with the ‘carb loading’ phase, which joyfully began at Christmas.

Yes to the right running shoes! And running only on pavements is not a good idea. Am running 22 coastal miles from Westward Ho! to Clovelly to support Jude and began a program to increase stamina and core-body strength today, Steve my trainer at local gym said I’d chosen a very difficult terrain running via the coast-path which has a fair number of verticals – so there’ll be many uppy/downy/slippy/slidey challenges. No point taking the easy route! Watch this space…all best for 26th, Jude – keep on keeping on xx

p.s. Developing core-body strength is vital for serious running – it means less stresses and strains on joints and muscles, more energy available for long-distances and increased overall body control reduces risk of injuries from stumbling/twisting/falling etc .

Hey Jude – to support you in your ‘marathon-12 marathons – marathon’ I’ve got local neighbour(former long-distance runner) Keith involved who is more than happy to share his free time by being my running coach!! We aim to get as many donations as we can for SweetTree/Farming For All from friends/family, neighbours, local residents. We’re doing a ‘route-rekkie’ of the coast path next week – Keith’s got the ordnance survey map out – heck – ’tis getting serious!!

Hi Kym! All of your support and effort is greatly appreciated, and the SweetTree Farming For All team will be thinking of you as we kick off in London on the 26th. Jude is looking forward to running with you in July and says tow-path running training is just as tough as coast-path running training (with just a few less verticals and a few more pubs …). All the best Kym – keep up the great work!
